šØ BITCOIN STUMBLES UNDER $90K AS MACRO PRESSURE BUILDS
Bitcoin is back under $90,000, sliding nearly 5% this week as macro forces tighten their grip. What looked like a brief recovery turned into another reminder: BTC is trading like a high-beta risk asset, not digital gold.
Mid-week, markets caught a short burst of optimism after Trumpās Davos remarks cooled tariff tensions with Europe. That sparked a quick risk-on bounce, pushing BTC back above $89K. But the relief didnāt last.
š Macro volatility is back in control.
Rising global bond yields ā especially Japanās 10-year yield hitting levels not seen since the late 1990s ā triggered a risk-off rotation. When yields surge, liquidity tightens. And when liquidity tightens, leveraged positions get unwound fast.
That pressure hits crypto first. Always.
š Stocks pull back
šŖ Crypto drops harder
š„ Gold & silver rally as safe havens
Bitcoin is no longer moving independently itās reacting to rates, geopolitics, and cross-market stress.
But the real weight this week? Institutional money is stepping back.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. saw $1.22 BILLION in outflows through Thursday ā the biggest weekly withdrawal wave since November. Thatās not retail panic. Thatās big capital reducing exposure.
Less ETF demand = less structural buying support.
Put it together and the picture is clear:
ā ļø Liquidity tightening
ā ļø Bond yields rising
ā ļø Institutional flows turning negative
BTC isnāt crashing randomly. Itās responding to a global shift in capital flows.
Until liquidity conditions improve, rallies may stay short-lived and volatility stays king.
